ThaknsI think the best way is to put it in stand By mode when not in use. As everything is shut down and only the time on the front display is running. Hope this helps

This is not really the case ab9adr in standby the box is till running with only the tuner disabled:
Some measured values for you on my box (with 2,5 inch HD build in)
- Power off by switch : 0 W ( switching of a running image may corrupt it)
- Deep Sleep: 0,2W (takes 1 min to boot)
- Standby: 15,4W (few seconds for image to pop up)
- Power On: 20.4W
Overall very nice values. the box may be called green.
It is your choice. I always put it into Deep Sleep when doing so myself.

How is the 2,5 inch hd powered?

By the way my box is an UNO (not SOLO). Forgot to mention and sorry for the confusion. I actually overlooked this detail.
The power principles are the same though for all VU+ models (and Dreambox for that matter). Only the SOLO/DUO will consume a bit more for all measurements. The 2,5 inch HD has been build in, which obviously can't be done on a SOLO. Measured values are including this Samsung HD (5400 RPM).

If you look at the mods-section on this forum, you can see solo with built in hd. My problem is, no matter what I try, every time I restart my solo, the hd needs to be initialized for it to work. And that means every reset or power off on the solo makes me have to wipe the hd before it works again.
